To allow all Committee of Adjustment members the opportunity to review and consider your comments, please provide your written submissions no later than noon the day before the hearing date. 

Pre-register as a delegation by contacting the Secretary-Treasurer Amanda Roger by email  aroger@get.on.ca or telephone no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) the day before the hearing date. You are encouraged to pre-register as a delegate as soon as possible to facilitate an orderly registration process.

All requests to delegate must contain a copy of your intended remarks which will be circulated to all members of Committee in advance as a backup should any technology issues occur. Pre-registered delegates will be provided with all necessary joining instructions to participate in the electronic hearing. 

If you do not wish to participate, but would like to follow along, the hearing will be held in-person and live through Zoom. Joining instructions  for this meeting can be found at the top of the meeting agenda that will be posted on the Committee of Adjustment webpage at least the day prior to the scheduled meeting.
